Instructions:

There's no place like home As fit as a fiddle Better late than never When in Rome, do as the Romans Practice what you preach Easy come, easy go The early bird catches the worm

Jack of all trades, master of none A woman's work is never done Birds of a feather flock together Two wrongs don't make a right The pen is mightier than the sword Rule of thumb Saved by the bell

Show your true colors Give credit where credit is due Never say never Spill the beans Like father, like son First come first served You made your bed, now lie in it

Laughter is the best medicine Knowledge is power As bright as a button When it rains, it pours No man is an island There's no such thing as a free lunch Beggars can't be choosers
